The old man asked, "Ziwen, are you ready?"
Xuan Ziwen nodded: "Mr. Wu, we are ready."
Fan Yu also looked at Ning Tian: "Ning Tian, what about you?"
"Teacher Fanyu, I'm ready too." Ning Tian replied in the same way.
Elder Wu said in a deep voice: "Then Ziwen, let's get started. Don't be nervous. There is no time limit."
"Ah."
Xuan Ziwen did not rush to engrave it, but first took out a ninth-level soul guide device blueprint, spread it on the table, and thought carefully.
Fan Yu and Qian Duoduo were not far from him, trying their best to take in the contents of the drawings.
This is a priceless ninth-level soul guide device blueprint. If it can be recorded, it will be very important for the development of the soul guide department of Shrek Academy.
Unfortunately, the contents of the drawings disappointed them a little.
What Xuan Ziwen chose was actually a civilian soul guide device, which could be installed on large buildings to help stabilize the structure. This soul guide device was used in Mingde Hall's underground base.
The level is high, but it is not suitable for combat.
However, although it is for civilian use, the technical content of this soul guide is not low, and Xuan Ziwen has also chosen a very challenging goal for himself.
Fan Yu and Qian Duoduo were also trying hard to memorize the contents on the drawings.
After thinking about it, Xuan Ziwen took out more than ten kinds of rare metals he needed.
He first did other preparatory work, polished various metals into the shapes he needed, inlaid them together to form a large metal block, and finally began engraving.
"call--"
Xuan Ziwen took a deep breath, placed the carving knife against the metal block, and spoke softly.
"Ningtian, let's start."
Ning Tian nodded, and the crystal clear Seven Treasures Glazed Tower appeared in his palm.
"The seven treasures have names, the fourth is the soul."
Xuan Ziwen instantly felt his own soul power becoming stronger, but he had no time to be surprised. Instead, he began to input soul power into the carving knife in his hand and began to engrave quickly.
Ning Tian crossed several realms to increase his soul power, but it couldn't last long and could be interrupted at any time, so he didn't dare to waste time.
At this moment, for some reason, he felt as if the whole world slowed down.
I just felt that my thinking became faster, and my hands' movements became faster, and the originally extremely complex core magic circle was not so cumbersome to carve.
Xuan Ziwen didn't think much about it and devoted himself to the carving. He didn't realize how his actions looked to outsiders.
Ninth-level soul mentor Wu Lao's eyes widened slightly, and he murmured in his heart: "When did Ziwen's hands become so fast?"
Fan Yu and Qian Duoduo, who were watching from the side, were also surprised by Xuan Ziwen's performance.
Although they are all eighth-level soul masters, Xuan Ziwen's skills are far superior to theirs.
The engraving action was dazzling, and there seemed to be an afterimage of the hands. The engraving speed was at least twice as fast as theirs.
How did he manage to move so quickly and keep his hands so steady?
Aren’t you afraid of making mistakes at all?
Ning Tian's soul power was being consumed greatly. Finally, when she was about to run out of soul power, Xuan Ziwen completed the engraving.
He handed the metal block to Mr. Wu and breathed a sigh of relief: "Mr. Wu, please take a look."
Mr. Wu took the metal block and examined it, then smiled kindly: "Ziwen, congratulations, you succeeded."
"Okay." Xuan Ziwen smiled comfortably, looked at Ning Tian, and bowed deeply, "Ning Tian, thank you."
“Although it cannot be called a formal breakthrough to level nine, this is still a huge improvement for me.”
After officially experiencing the feeling of being a ninth-level soul mentor, Xuan Ziwen felt that some of the problems that had troubled him for a long time suddenly became clear.
Ning Tian smiled calmly: "Nothing, Teacher Xuan, congratulations."
Xuan Ziwen didn't know that his success attracted the attention of many people.
Fan Yu, Qian Duoduo, and Jing Hongchen behind the monitoring soul guide on the wall.
Everyone has different thoughts in mind, and the status of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and auxiliary soul masters seems to need to be re-examined.
Not far outside the laboratory, Huo Yuhao put his hands in his pockets, leaned against the wall, and shook his head helplessly.
"Teacher Xuan, you still have to thank me."
Chapter 279: Mr. Huo is targeted by the sword maniac (4.3k)
Xuan Ziwen's temporary breakthrough attracted the attention of many people.
Fan Yu and Qian Duoduo were overjoyed after witnessing Xuan Ziwen temporarily break through to the ninth-level soul mentor with the assistance of Ning Tian.
They had never considered such a simple thing before. The joint teaching between soul masters and soul instructors has taken a new direction of development.
When Wu Feng passed the assessment with the help of Ning Tian, he kept it a secret from the Soul Guidance Department, and the two of them did not make it public, so Fan Yu and Qian Duoduo did not expect it either.
Back in the office prepared for Shrek, Qian Duoduo and Fan Yu looked at each other and could see the fanaticism in each other's eyes.
Qian Duoduo asked: "Fan Yu, what do you think of today's events? Do you have the confidence to temporarily break through to the ninth level with the help of other auxiliary spirit masters?"
Fan Yu thought more comprehensively and did not respond confidently: "Dean Qian, my current problem is not only in soul power, but also in theory and engraving technology."
"Teacher Xuan's technique is too terrifying. He can engrave the ninth-level core array so quickly."
Qian Duoduo smiled and said, "Haha, it's okay, Fanyu, just continue to study theory."
"Speaking of auxiliary spirit masters, we at Shrek also know quite a few, and their auxiliary spirit skills are varied and their effects are far more than just increasing spirit power."
"Calming the mind, strengthening concentration and reaction, increasing speed... these soul skills will definitely be of great help in engraving."
"If you can break through to level nine, even temporarily, it will be of extraordinary significance to the Soul Guidance Department."
"Let's quickly send a message to the academy and let Lin'er conduct the experiment first. We can contact the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect. After all, they have a close relationship with the academy."
"it is good."
Not only Shrek Academy was paying attention to this matter, Jing Hongchen also sent several secret letters to the Jiubao Liuli Sect.
As for Xuan Ziwen, the person involved, he didn't think too much about it, but just immersed himself in the joy that belonged only to him.
It was a wonderful feeling that he could never forget.
Originally, he thought that his theoretical knowledge was already the best among those below level nine. Everything was ready except for the east wind. As long as his cultivation was sufficient, he could successfully be promoted to level nine.
But strangely enough, when he actually made a genuine ninth-level soul guide, he felt a sudden sense of enlightenment that made him feel extremely happy.
Xuan Ziwen suddenly felt that his original theoretical system had been improved and supplemented, and many problems that had been bothering him were solved at once.
Since that day, every time he came to the laboratory, Huo Yuhao could clearly feel that Xuan Ziwen's mental outlook was different. He would often smile with relief when he was thinking about a problem seriously.
Huo Yuhao and Ning Tian also successfully broke through to level 6 and level 5 soul mentors respectively. As for Wu Feng, the companion, forget about it...
The top management of Mingde Hall held a serious meeting to discuss whether breaking through the soul guide level with the help of others can be applied to rating certification.
Finally, Jing Hongchen decided to award Xuan Ziwen a specially made ninth-level soul mentor badge, with the sun and the moon as the background, and nine stars suspended in it. The only difference is that the color of the badge is a special white, which is different from the normal one.
Jing Hongchen's explanation was that despite the assistance of outsiders, the ninth-level soul guide made by Xuan Ziwen was very perfect and did not become a defective product.
On the one hand, it was to express recognition for Xuan Ziwen, and on the other hand, it was also to motivate other eighth-level soul mentors, so Jing Hongchen issued this special badge.
Of course, he kept the matter of assistance a secret for the time being.
A few weeks later, Ning Tian sat in his room, looking at a piece of letter printed with gorgeous patterns on the table, his face solemn.
The Jiubao Liuli Sect had informed the Sun and Moon Academy in advance. Her room was quite special and obviously much more luxurious and spacious than other exchange students. Wu Feng lived in it with her.
At this moment, Wu Feng stood directly beside Ning Tian. She was always impatient, but she remained silent and just looked at the letter on the table.
After a long time, Ning Tian put down the letter in his hand.
Wu Feng asked with concern: "Ning Tian, this is... a secret letter from the sect, right? What did the sect say?"
Ning Tian said calmly: "It is related to soul guides. The sect believes that this is a great opportunity. In the future, more attention will be paid to the sect disciples' learning of soul guides."
"My father has set very high standards for me. During these three years at Sun Moon College, I will study even harder."
Wu Feng immediately patted his chest and said, "Just go ahead and do it. I will always be by your side to help you. If you have any difficulties, just let me solve them."
Hearing Wu Feng's encouragement, Ning Tian did not smile, and his face was still covered with gloom.
"Ning Tian, what's wrong with you?" Wu Feng asked cautiously.
Ning Tian exhaled and said, "The sect wants to hire a high-level soul master, but the eighth-level soul masters of the three countries on the mainland are almost all in the imperial cities of each country, so it is not that easy to hire them."
"The next level is level seven. Although it is not weak, it is still not enough."
Wu Feng was puzzled: "I don't quite understand, what does the sect mean...?"
Ning Tian said: "The sect wants to cooperate with an organization with high-level soul mentors."
Wu Feng asked: "What organization? Academy?"
"The academy and the sect will also contact them, but my father and the elders are more optimistic about another organization." Ning Tian shook his head, and then looked into Wu Feng's eyes, "It's Mingde Hall."
Wu Feng was stunned for a moment, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses: "How can this be possible? Mingdetang is a force of the Sun Moon Empire, which is the enemy of the three kingdoms on the mainland. How can the sect cooperate with them?"
"Mingde Hall has offered benefits that even the sect cannot refuse. My father and the others have already made a decision."
As he spoke, Ning Tian gradually revealed a relaxed smile.
"Don't worry, my father and his men have already thought about it and will definitely give Mingde Hall a good beating. Mingde Hall's request is also very simple, they just need the sect to send a few direct disciples to help them."
"In addition, Mingde Hall will let Teacher Xuan take the lead and help me develop a soul guide with a special structure. As long as it succeeds, the strength of the sect will be even greater."
"Compared to the insignificant effort, the benefits are too great. The sect has no reason to refuse."
Although he said this, Ning Tian quickly put away his smile and looked worried.
Wu Feng felt like there was something stuck in her throat. Even she could vaguely sense that something was wrong with this cooperation.
She asked hesitantly, "The academy probably doesn't know, right?"
Ning Tian looked at Wu Feng and said solemnly: "The academy doesn't know, and it can't know."
"Wu Feng, I order you now, no matter what the reason is, do not tell the academy."
